a very important force of information for many people around the world when all the cameras have gone i'm still here go into areas that nobody else is going to talk to people that nobody else is talking to and bringing that story to the forefront. ok and you know in the stream today all about self-defeating messaging apps i will create to messaging services perhaps of encryption. i'm really looking out for your live comments in our you tube chat and on twitter as always at a.j. string do you use apps like snap chat or perhaps signal or a telegram to share with us how you use them and why they're so important to you and i'll do my best to bring in as many of those conversations into today's

conversation so many of us one previously and securing our communication and well several ways to achieve that here's one of those ways text messaging is often the fastest most efficient way for employees to exchange important information unfortunately traditional text messaging is unsecured at any given time there are multiple copies of every message floating around vulnerable to prying eyes the mobile phone companies keep the sender has won the receiver has won you get the idea this kind of a kill the seal and security cost companies millions each year in lawsuits regulatory fines and public embarrassment luckily tiger text has the solution tiger text is a fully encrypted easy to use solution for safe and secure messaging sim confidential company data sensitive personal information documents and more worry free with tiger text into ending corruption tiger text accelerates your company's communications by allowing critical information to travel faster and more securely

than ever tiger text can also help you complied with. regulations with one of the strictest security. your text messages last forever text messages will self-destruct after a designated period of time accidentally sent an erroneous message. can be recalled . i'm sure your boss received your latest report confirmations tell you when your message and best of all it's a snap to get started so what could possibly go wrong with that well that. text was adopted by one police department. question. criminalising information would not want to court. long beach police department announced

a suspension of tiger text after an al-jazeera investigation revealed allegations from former offices that they had been instructed by their superiors to use the app that would automatically delete potentially discoverable evidence i was told that tiger text was to be used to have conversations with other officers that wouldn't be discoverable we wanted to keep our communications private certain issues especially. or murder cases the police department the noise those allegations the american civil liberties union believes that by deleting the text messages the long beach police department may have breached the california record for tension and evidence disclosure legislations potentially putting thousands of cases at risk . in response to the investigation the long beach police department issued a statement saying that the use of the app would be suspended effective immediately pending further review of whether the use is consistent with the city's record

retention policy and as part of the review of internal communication practices the city will be reviewing best practices and current case law. simon bozeman joins us now on sat he's an investigative reporter for al-jazeera we're also joined in san francisco by eva galperin the director of cyber security at the electronic frontier foundation and in los angeles by mohammed taps are national security staff attorney at the american civil liberties union that's the a.c.l.u. of southern california welcome to the stream everyone now simon as we saw in your piece there are your basic ation has had immediate fallout and has led to more investigations which we will get into today questioning who should use these self deleting messaging apps before we get into it though i want to go to evolve or break down some of the terminology we're going to get into today clarification on self deleting tax apps and into and encryption break it down for us eva all right

so frequently when people talk about secure messaging apps they sort of lump everything together they say the this messaging app is great because it's encrypted . and sometimes they mix it up with this whole notion of self leaving messages now and encrypted message as we saw in the in the animation earlier is a message that cannot be read by the company whose app you're using or the i.s.p. it can only be read by the sender or the receiver of the message. now self deleting messages are different and they're not necessarily encrypted though apparently with tiger text they were both leaving and encrypted messages and is self deleting message just disappears from your phone this doesn't necessarily mean that it has disappeared from the servers being run by the company whose. app you're

using or the i a speed it doesn't even necessarily mean that it's being deleted. from the phone of the person that you are so. ending your message too and it certainly doesn't mean that it can't be screenshot or saved in some other way but it does protect against. record retention policies which is what the police are but it would concerned about ok i'll be asking questions later audience universe description thank you evo really appreciate that so back to this police department simon how did you find how do you stumble upon the story that they were using at that moment that at some point the messages on it were totally disappear we were looking at a completely different story we were looking at the high number of officer involved shootings in america by police forces on young black men looking at that and they were the report back in two thousand and fifteen could mapping gun violence that

had long beach very close to the top of that list of police bombers had per capita the largest number of officer involved shootings and the beach is interesting because it's not a particularly violent place it's not particularly our area of high poverty so we started talking to officers there and in other police forces around the world around us and very quickly when we speak into serving officers and former serving officers in long beach they pointed out there was this being used between the departments that are involved in officer involved shootings primarily the homicide department and the internal affairs department and they pointed out this is that was being used where the any information between those two departments would just vanish and that could be pivotal to any family who wants to find out whether their loved one was killed by the police illegally or correctly and so we started to look into that and that's where the story kind of grew from and some of the quotes in the report that you update from. extremely incriminating we deliberately use it so that other people can track that we're using and feel comfortable about

saying that two officers we spoke to former and serving said that when they were given the app their superiors told them to use this for him from. that they wouldn't want to be discoverable wow so that was why frost that wish that was a stunning piece of information and from there we on robert the rest of the use and how many people were involved and how how widespread it become within one week a police department summons i want to share a comment we got from a resident of long beach who is not surprised at what your investigation revealed this is don mudd going to she's the co-founder of black lives matter a long beach chapter and this is what she told the story we are not surprised along these police department is highlighting and deleting evidence long beach p.d. has a notorious history of abuse brutality military station profiling a black and brown communities predictive policing and murder of one thousand one

hundred fifty two people killed by police in the u.s. in two thousand and fifteen long beach police were the fifth most murderous billions of residents tax dollars have been spent covering up their systemic abuse of those cases need to be reopened investigation of their tiger takes used to discard evidence is merely an affirmation for why we want our tax dollars better spent in long. so mohamed while don may not have been surprised some of our community members are it this is one person who tweeted and wait why are police departments using self deleting apps isn't that a violation of the freedom of information act and as habit servants are they required to preserve any and all communications from it. that's exactly right i think the. our principal problem at the a.c.l.u. with what the city of long beach was doing was that the use of these applications violates basic records preservation rules that ensure that the public has access to

important records and information about how the governments function and these rules exist across the united states and are designed to provide a basic accountability mechanism for what the government is doing now in this case of the government uses these record these applications to immediately destroy these very same records of prevents the public from having abscess to what could potentially be incredibly important information it and in this case information that touches on the lives of so many people and has and concerns the real foundational issue that's been the subject of a lot of debate and controversy in united states and that is the issue of rampant police killings and so we at the so we are incredibly concerned about the use of this technology both by the city of long beach but also by. governments across the country. couple of bits of evidence here of anybody's doubting that this actually took place in your report you have an update email and it says title tech secure

messaging app and it says please feel free to resume communicating by the tiger text i have so let's go into the secret channel no one can follow and then another one which is basically it's really simple it's a purchase order purchase order it's for a certain price it's for up to twenty five thousand. and then it just tells here tied to tax subscription license period from twenty sixteen to twenty seventeen instead anything wrong with the police department having this kind of app. yes i mean i think if you if you if we split the thing into if they had into a concrete. message in apps and then they retained all records for the time under california law and then handed them over during court cases as requested at the discovery phase and with all compliance legislation you could argue that using a system like this would be absolutely fine a but they chose a system which deletes the messages for ever it can now no longer go back and get

those messages and produce them in core produce them in any kind of document or face to say we have done nothing wrong you know the long beach police department said to us when we first told them we comply with all legislation on this we don't break any laws two days later they suspended all use and now they're doing a review of whether they're complying with all the laws they told us they were complying with it's the two days later after your reporting that is the red flag that they knew that they weren't doing the right thing it had targeted at least since two thousand and fourteen up until two thousand and eighteen that's hundreds and hundreds of cases that. this app was being used to communicate evidence around this one hundred fifty all offices within long beach police department had it out of the two hundred ninety phones issued to starve in long beach over half of them have the app to communicate with each other you would never know what they were talking about to each other. the the the city's attorney the person legally responsible to ensure that the police are applying with complying with all

legislation didn't even know they had it he didn't know yet they had it in to we told them that they had it the district attorney for the county of los angeles has just launched an inquiry through the in the same body that is doing the inquiry into long beach police departments the same inquiry group to investigate with the police killings illegal to do dishes and oversight committee these and there are serious allegations against long beach police department whether they comply with their own legislation whether they withheld them from evidence from any court cases and mohamed will tell you now better than some i think it's going to be a very brave law that opens up hundreds and hundreds of prosecutions in long beach again because we don't know what these police officers were talking about your statement at the risk of echoing you here we have a tweet here and it really shows just the gravity of this this is james reporter at the los angeles times he says less than twelve hours after the al-jazeera report detailing its use of a self deleting messaging app that could cause record or tension discovery issues the city of long beach has suspended the use of tiger attacks long beach police had

been using it since two thousand and fourteen so really just echoing what you said there but eve i want to bring you in here on this because secure communication seemingly is a good thing what's your take on this. well privacy and security are two different things and both private and secure communications are good but every citizens have different freedoms and obligations that the police took part meant the police department is made up of police these people are public servants they have obligations to maintain records of the of the things that they are doing in their investigations in ways that ordinary citizens do not and it looks like they were using tiger text specifically for the purpose of circumventing those obligations which is really disturbing so if we're looking at who should be using these apps and who should not be using these apps mohammed. well i mean i think

what's interesting here is that is that what we need to do is be able to sort of think a little bit strategically and a little bit sort of. in a nuanced fashion about the technologies that are available to members of the public to the corporate sector the private sector as well as to governments and so what's important is to recognize as it was saying that there are different obligations and different requirements that we all share in these different spaces and so as members of the public there is a lone individual i have an interest in making sure that my communications with my spouse with my family members with my friends are private and that individuals whether. hackers government agents or or other sort of intruders don't have access to that information but i don't have that same obligation for the local police department to come who patrols my streets or for you know the housing authorities that i apply to get public housing from or from the tax man for whom i provide all

kinds of sense of information i want to make sure that their communications are recorded and are kept in a secure fashion so they do not leak they are not compromised in any fashion so i think we really have to be able to understand how technology operates in this sort of multifaceted existence that we all live in the talk of what's particularly interesting that even is what's particularly interesting is that governments and law enforcement including the f.b.i. and police departments all over the u.s. have insisted that they should be able to backdoor these apps because they're being used by criminals and so they're perfectly fine with using with using these apps to circumvent their own obligations but they're not into the idea that they might be used by the people that they're trying to keep an eye on that they're trying to catch one of the things we do is we win them because the amusing scenario now is that we always talk about the arms race and technology of criminals and the law enforcement staying one step ahead. each other so if the criminals using something

the room forstmann has to catch up what we may be entering in this instance is to a new era in which the government trying to stay ahead of people like myself activists like mohammed saying what are you doing and they're trying to stay ahead of our ability to keep an eye on their communications now which i think is going to be an interesting challenge for the twenty first century trying to say what you really don't want. is a dynamic in which the people in power the people who have guns the people who have the power to imprison you have privacy and security and the ordinary people who might be activists or journalists are trying to hold them to account don't that is in fact the opposite of civil liberties and how is this this is this make us in a very mushy area where the criminals and the police are using the same technology and the public is using the same technology and they're all trying to keep secrets from each other. yes and no i mean i guess i'd say that.

secrecy by itself is not that secrecy deletion. sort of purposely these are not terror bad concepts these are all really good depending on the context of how they come up so i'll give you one example so the government. engages in a whole host of different surveillance and investigatory operations to keep tabs on members of the public even when members of the public aren't suspected of committing a crime so for instance if you drive in an intersection there might be a camera that tracks. cars drive past that intersection that camera collects all manner of different sort of data about you and about members of the public would we want that data for instance kept in secure fashion that might leak in a way that would result in our movements and our and sort of public private information disclosed to members of the public certainly not and indeed what i would suggest is that that information about sir about members of the public

collected through surveillance technologies must itself be deleted if the government does not suspect you of a crime so in that context i'm for the deletion of government records however i'm against the deletion of cover records when it by lates laws that are designed to interrogate how government itself functions right so you can imagine between those two poles a sort of nuanced debate about when these records should be kept and when they should be deleted on the one hand records about how government works and on the other hand records about you and i mean everything that we do that happens to be scooped up by the government and i think the punishment. completely unique because if the police department released my social security number or some piece of my personal information i can take action against that and for breach my personal data when nobody's pump potentially breaking legislations on reckless retention. it's nothing that is going to happen to them nothing legally will happen to them for.

the taking someone might lose their job you never know but nothing will happen to long beach police department so i like the point about being able to take action if your information is leaked when it shouldn't be here's someone who's a glasses perhaps they say there can always be a reason for breaching your privacy be it a hacker looking for data to sell or a government body because your name resembles a terrorist at the end i don't think anyone has the privilege of privacy which is sad so in keeping that in mind i want to take a look at this because this is what throws tweeted us and he's not the only one who's talking about this idea of a back door he says when taken messages are the reason for riots and lynching especially in india referencing whatsapp chain that are not fact checked and are now been spread back to our access should be given there no other way to stop this agenda but ordinary people should not be harassed or their messages should not be

exposed so take us through the idea of a backdoor who should have access to that door the company or the government. well i think that one of the biggest problems with the with the demand for a back door is that when you have end to end encrypted messaging back to were suddenly makes your end to end encrypted messaging no longer and to encrypt it it's no longer a secure is it was before and there's no way to guarantee that only the sender and the receiver able to are able to get the message we have had a number of very high profile weeks of of government data and of. data from apps showing that if you if you build a backdoor it's not only going to be used by governments or law enforcement or whatever you think of as as the good guys it will inevitably be used by criminals by governments that you don't approve of that will be used by you know. jealous

boyfriend stocking their their exes there will be all kinds of very serious abuse and that is why any kind of backdoor is simply unacceptable because it destroys the entire premise of and to end in christian mohammedans wonderings it should be a front door then the front door is the law to see you cannot use this if you're a public official well certainly what you cannot do is you cannot to vons and mandates. back doors and into otherwise secure communications we know that government so the intelligence agencies of the united states and in the u.k. have tried to weaken encryption protocols and this is a really dangerous sort of approach because not only for the reasons that it was talking about but also because the. the ends here on pursuit of

an agenda to tackle a problem that on its face is incredibly where some of the concerns are. about terrorism for instance that concern. rates of terrorism are incredibly miniscule aren't incidents of terrorism are incredibly where in sort of in the western world and yet the threat from weakening encryption how's the natural consequence of. sort of impacting literally all walks of life. that we engage in whether it's communications with each other whether it's communications with lenders banks whether it's some sort of data that's controlled by members of by the government or all and all forms of digital life in christian is literally the sort of back bone of how that's how the digital age works and so threatening that in pursuit of a frankly oh well sort of chance of an attack i think is a dangerous premise and something that we should not accept right as someone in the

leads to here the movies now is we want to change people have gone to hear the area the mission of the national army is to search the entire complex and i'll just do a stories about telling it from the people's perspective what they think is happening in their culture. zira. you're watching the news hour live from the headquarters in doha i'm debbie navigator coming up in the next sixty minutes the woman accusing donald trump supreme court nominee of sexual assault has begun her testimony on capitol hill israel and palestine set to dominate the agenda as mahmoud abbas and benjamin

netanyahu prepare to address the u.n. general assembly a russian colonel is identified as a suspect in the u.k. poisoning case and without a trace the long wait for iraqi families waiting to hear about the fate of their relatives detained by government forces. hello the first woman to accuse president donald trump supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh of sexual abuse is testifying before a committee on capitol hill these are live pictures you'll see in just a moment of christine blazin testifying in the senate judiciary committee hearing there she is so christine blassie ford has been giving details about the alleged assault. i was pushed onto the bed and brett got on top of me he

began running is hands over my body and grinding into me. i yelled hoping that someone downstairs might hear me and i tried to get away from him that sweet. brett groped me and tried to take off my clothes. he had a hard time because he was very in need. and because i was wearing a one piece bathing suit underneath my clothing i believe he was going to rape me. i tried to yell for help when i did brett put his hand over my mouth stopped me from yelling this is what terrified me the most and this had the most lasting impact on my life it was hard for me to breathe and i thought that brett was accidentally going to kill me let's cross over to. obviously chris ford visibly shaken and that testimony just talk us through what she said so

far. while in her opening statement she described what has been published in the washington post and repeat it widely around the world that when she was fifteen she went to a house party no parents were around there was alcohol she said that brett kavanaugh who has been nominated to join the supreme court was there all along with a friend mark judge she described them as both being extremely drunk she then alleges that they pushed her into a bedroom when she left to go to the bathroom and. tried to force himself on her but that after mark judge jumped on the bad and the bad she was able to escape the bedroom and to hide until they left the room she said she fled the house she's under questioning right now by the ranking member of the judiciary committee senator dianne feinstein who happens to be her home state senator as she's describing the emotional impact that the alleged assault had on her life especially

in the first four years her college years after the alleged assault when we know that her and kavanaugh will not be in the same room together when do we expect to see him and when will he be testifying. well it really does depend on how well this round of questioning goes it's already proving to be a bit awkward from a logistics standpoint that's because the senators on the republican side who all happen to be men have brought in a female prosecutor from the state of arizona a woman who is well experienced in dealing with cases involving sexual assault and rape she was able to ask christine blazin ford a couple of basic questions but blazin ford of course not being practiced in the arts of testifying before a senate committee took a long time to fact took all of the time of the first questioner rose senator

charles grassley and so they've had to move on to the questioning by senator dianne feinstein it's going to be something where all of the members of the republican majority are going to want to have their questions asked when they're going through a third party as it were it seems to be slowing the process down and just put this into context for us rawls and tell us what it all means for the judges confirmation hearing. well this is still part of the judge's confirmation hearing to become the ninth member of the u.s. supreme court. there are only two witnesses taking part in this session first ford and then. we presume at some point on thursday afternoon we don't know whether this hearing is going to extend beyond today it's worth pointing out that when kavanagh was before the committee two weeks ago for two days of questioning he was questioned for up to twelve hours on both days now there is also

course the fact that senator grassley has already scheduled a vote on whether to recommend calvinists nomination to the full senate that committee vote would take place tomorrow on friday it's not clear whether or not that's actually going to happen but it is on the calendar for right now all right jordan for the time being thank you for that update now is really in palestinian leader will soon be addressing the u.n. general assembly to make their cases since last year there's been a dramatic shift in u.s. policy on the israeli palestinian conflict it came to a head in december last year that's when trump unilaterally recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel earlier the sear the u.s. embassy was shifted to jerusalem from tel aviv and the palestine liberation organizations washington office was shut down for millions of palestinians on the ground it was his administration's decision to cut funding to the u.n.

agency for palestinian refugees that's affecting their daily lives let's talk to our diplomatic editor james bay is joining us live from the u.n. headquarters in new york to set the scene for us james tell us what we should expect from the u.n. general assembly soon. well the speeches of the general assembly go on leader after leader some of the dignitaries are actually in the security council discussing north korea as we speak but the important speech coming up this hour we think is the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu it is quite rare to have the israelis and the palestinians on the same day normally they don't come down on the same day because palestine has a president and israel has a prime minister and president speak before prime ministers but they are both speaking on the same day expect benjamin netanyahu i think not only to talk about his issues with israel and palestine but also about iran and i'm sure he'll be very

strongly condemning the iran nuclear deal and the work arounds to try and save the iran nuclear deal by the european union russia and china and and their efforts there but on israel palestine will have after prime minister better and netanyahu will have mahmoud abbas speaking an hour or so later and i think you're going to get real frustration from the palestinian side as you say things on the ground have deteriorated what the u.s. administration has done this is clearly angered the palestinians and so we'll have to see whether president abbas has any new options to put forward as he now i think doesn't believe the u.s. is an honest broker james what will come back to you as a when those speeches do begin but while i have you with us let me ask you about north korea you mentioned that just a moment ago we know the secretary of state might bump aoe is chairing a u.n. security council meeting on north korea what's the happen there. well the

meeting is under way and they're going around the table actually in a security council meeting in the open we're actually hearing less about what's really going on in north korea then we heard from a news conference from president trump who said there were all sorts of letters that had been exchanged between him and kim jong un when he spoke to reporters late on wednesday none of that sort of detail is coming out from mike pompei o but we do believe that there will be a second summit between the u.s. leader in the north korean leader this time not in singapore but we think sometime in the coming months and certainly president trump says they're making good progress the word around the security council table is that they want to keep the sanctions on north korea to keep the pressure on i have to say that goes slightly country to what's president moon of south korea said when he addressed the general assembly on wednesday he said north korea taking the first steps and now it was

time for the international community to take steps to reassure north korea that was doing the right thing ok james raise thank you so as you're hearing palestinian leaders saying that the u.s. can no longer act as an impartial mediator in the peace process that's after several recent decisions by the trumpet ministration withdrawal of funding to a u.n. agency for palestinian refugees is one of the harry fawcett reports from gaza. annorah is an agency besieged by a funding crisis on the international stage and here in gaza by protesting members of its own staff they're the ones feeling the immediate pain of the budget cuts to the u.n. agency that helps palestinians nearly six hundred annual contract workers who have lost their jobs by year's end more than one hundred longer term staffers like ismail teller have been dismissed or forced to take early retirement. invites us to his home where his twelve hundred dollars monthly wage supports an extended family

of twenty eight people. he'd worked for enron for sixteen years it's here that you see in an economy like garza's how much can rest on just one job. it is something now i want to be able to help my brothers which is going to affect them mentally their families depend on me because of the difficulties of life if i knew that this would happen i never would have joined in the first place and ross says it's hard to prioritize borrowing money from elsewhere in the organization to ensure that garza gets essential services after the u.s. decision to end its three hundred sixty million dollar annual contribution. more than half of gaza's two million population are refugees it's here that the need is particularly acute it's in places like this causes such the refugee camp where you find the most extreme levels of poverty and for many here aid provided by an ra is a matter of survival. that. she and her family survive on just three to four hours

every tricity every day a barely adequate water supply and food aid is said there's no. maybe some people have money in their pockets and can survive if they stop the aid but us we have nothing there aid is all we have if they stop it will die of hunger. and reopened in schools asked month after urging donor countries to step into the void left by the trumpet ministration and its efforts to pressure the palestinian leadership through funding cuts the agency's gaza director says it's been a year of short term fixes the challenge for us is it's not enough in view of growing numbers of refugees growing needs as is evident here in gaza we hope that other member states including from the gulf countries will step in not only this year but will make these longer term commitments thousands of the agency's garza staff protested last week it's now looking for a long.
